The Celtics’ plan to deal with Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid took over the game and dominated in the fourth quarter to push the Sixers to a win. The first half was promising. There were many times where Enes Kanter and Daniel Theis made him uncomfortable and affected his post-up game, however, as the game went along, Embiid wore down the interior defense of the Celtics enough to seal another victory.
